Core i9-13900KS runs circles around Ryzen 9 7950X in CPU-Z

These E/P cores were introduced by Intel with the 12th gen. When comparing modern laptops the 12th gen Intel models are at a real disadvantage compared to Ryzen 6000 (which has only normal P cores) in battery life tests.

My conclusion is that for now it is more of a gimmick than anything ground breaking.

I wouldn't say it's anything groundbreaking (phones have been doing this for 10 years now and Intel wasn't the first to introduce it to laptops/desktops the M1 was) but it's not a gimmick either. Intel 12th gen is just not a very efficient design and they lost their node advantage. Without efficiency cores the story would be just be "very bad" instead of "bad".

Thanks for the comment. It is also my conclusion after reading around a bit.
